S. Sudan

The level of persecution in Sudan is extreme.

Sudan is highly restrictive against Christians that has resulted in many of them relocating to South Sudan, which has gained its independence in 2011. Churches are continually being destroyed and in 2018 at least 20 churches have been closed by the government. Christians live in fear and discriminated against in every sector of life.

Please support Christians in the Sudan/South Sudan.

India

Christianity is the third most followed religion in India. Christians are targeted by Hindu and Muslim radical groups because they are viewed as outsiders who need to be cleansed. Persecution is often violent, taking the form of physical assault or murder, especially to converts of Christianity.

Egypt

Egypt played a significant role since the early history of Christianity, going as far back as the Holy Family fleeing to Egypt. Coptic (derived from Greek word meaning “Egyptian”) Christians number roughly 12 million, about 10% of Egypt’s population and the largest group of Christians in the Middle East.
